Finally! I'm back on line and ready to begin telling you all about the Health Immersion program in more detail. I left for California on the afternoon of February 24th, 2010. I flew into San Francisco Airport and took the airport shuttle to stay with Joyce, a friend from work who wanted to see San Francisco for a day or two before heading to the program. Both of us had been following the program, Joyce since Nov. 30th and me since late December. Both of us were have significant improvements in our health besides the happiness that losing some weight also brought us. On Thursday we ran all over San Francisco, taking pictures, being crazy tourists and loved it. Joyce was so easy to travel with! We had an 'off plan' lunch at Fisherman's Wharf after running like mad around the city and then took a bus out to the Golden Gate Bridge, where we proceeded to walk all the way across and back again! Holy Bus Smoke Batman! We can both check that off of our lists of things to do before we... GROW OLD and HEALTHY on the McDougall plan. Friday we headed up to Santa Rosa on the bus, what a beautiful ride. We took a cab to the Flamingo Resort, Joyce nearly died from the ciggarette smell in the cab... it was pretty gross! We both checked in and then went and checked out the hot tub and the pool, we had a pretty great time swimming in late February.
So, here we were, exhausted and not feeling too hot from our off plan lunch of the day before when we had our first lecture/welcome with Dr. McDougall... he was fantastic right out of the gate and then we had an on plan dinner that was fantastic and then orientation with Mary McDougall and the instruction to fast after 8PM for bloodwork and urine tests in the morning. From then on out we were involved in the program from the time we got up, testing was early and every morning we had our blood pressure taken as early as 5:30AM... crazy! Lectures went until 9PM most nights. We had two days that included outings that were incredible, I will tell you about them as I go along. I want to start giving you the lecture information from the program. See the next topic: Lectures
